Organization

The Parliament and the Government decide on regulations, objectives, and guidelines regarding higher education as well as the allocation of resources and state financed research. However, the University has a high degree of autonomy.

The University Board takes major decisions on policy and budget. The Board has a majority of external members, but students and staff are also represented. Directly under the University Board is the Rector, who is the chief executive officer of the University. The Rector is assisted by two Pro Rectors, the University Director, the Human Resources Director, the Financial Director, the Communications Director, the Library Director, the chairman of the Student union and five Deans.

There are also eight units for administrative and technical support, and a multidisciplinary faculty organization, with five faculty boards and several committees. The faculty boards and committees oversee all educational levels and research.
